Student’s Submission:

In terms of the natural history of the condition, malaria parasites infect two types of hosts, which include humans and female Anopheles mosquitos. Within humans, the parasites initially grow and multiply in the liver cells, and eventually in the red blood cells. This causes the red blood cells to be destroyed, releasing daughter parasites called merozoites that proceed to infect other red blood cells. The blood stage parasites are responsible for causing the symptoms of malaria. During a blood meal, the female Anopheles mosquito picks up the gametocytes, which are particular forms of blood stage parasites. This initiates another cycle of parasite growth and multiplication within the mosquito. After a period of 10 to 18 days, the parasites, now known as sporozoites, end up in the salivary glands of the mosquito. During the mosquito’s blood meal on another human, the sporozoites are injected along with the mosquito’s saliva, starting another human infection. This is precisely how the mosquito serves as a vector, and transmits the disease from one human to another.4

The natural ecology of malaria involves malaria parasites infecting successively two types of hosts: humans and female Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans, the parasites grow and multiply first in the liver cells and then in the red cells of the blood. In the blood, successive broods of parasites grow inside the red cells and destroy them, releasing daughter parasites ("merozoites") that continue the cycle by invading other red cells.

The blood stage parasites are those that cause the symptoms of malaria. When certain forms of blood stage parasites ("gametocytes") are picked up by a female Anopheles mosquito during a blood meal, they start another, different cycle of growth and multiplication in the mosquito.

After 10-18 days, the parasites are found (as "sporozoites") in the mosquito's salivary glands. When the Anopheles mosquito takes a blood meal on another human, the sporozoites are injected with the mosquito's saliva and start another human infection when they parasitize the liver cells.

Thus the mosquito carries the disease from one human to another (acting as a "vector"). Differently from the human host, the mosquito vector does not suffer from the presence of the parasites.

Question:

The paragraph written:

A) Incorporates the information from the source into their writing properly.

B) Is an example of direct plagiarism

C) Is an example of self-plagiarism

D) Is an example of mosaic plagiarism

E) Is an example of accidental plagiarism

Explanation / Answer

Here

from the both student and reference passage

we can infer that both mean the same and even the words

but he has given the reference from which he has taken so it is not "accidental plagiarism "

and not even direct plagiarism since he has changed the words too.

Mosaic plagiarism :- it occurs when student take some phrases from a source without using some quotation marks or change the language of the original passage into his words but keeping the general structure same

Hence this comes under mosaic plagiarism
